I felt the need to have a topic about this wonderful piece of equipment which is increasingly dying out due to broken fingers and broken slats....

but seriously - how much fun is a really good slip cradle session!!
-
We've got a fairly new one, they are great, provided you've got lads that can throw a bit
-
never used one but there are a couple of players at the club that keep mentioning them, unfortunately we never get enough people at training to any fielding practice
-
Ours died years ago and was replaced by those katchet boards and one of those crazy catch spring thingies :(
-
Love a good session on the slip cradle!! Will try to do 20 mins per training session during the summer
-
Was thinking about this last training session.
As much as the portable Katchet is fantastic, I do love the slips cradle! If I had to choose I know what I'd have!

We had two when I started, one wood and the other metal. Great fun but quite challenging too. The wood one rotted. We used the metal one for a few more years but people kept pelting the balls into the tubular ends and damaging the balls.
Then eventually some (No Swearing Please) stole it.
Now we just have a stupid plastic ramp that no one can hit. Only solution is one guy kneeling with a bag of balls and throwing into the Katchet board to 3-4 slips. Nowhere near as good as the caddle was.

Loadsa fun and a top training tool

We've got one. It's in pretty good nick as it's stored inside at all times when not being used. Gets a work out at least a couple of times a week during the season.
